Which language would you suggest as replacement for writing of sched.c and page_alloc.c?

Oberon or Modula-2 maybe?

Last resort, remember. I'm not saying C doesn't have its place -- I'm saying that it should be used as little as possible. While I guess there's no other option for a memory allocator, it should be quite possible to write a scheduler in another, better systems language like Rust.

edit: actually, possibly not -- Rust might be a little too abstract. My point still stands, though.
